Netflix audiences are encouraged to check out an 'iconic' horror film featuring a 'twist' conclusion that's said to surpass that of Scream.

2025-03-31 17:07:44 By Jennifer Martinez

Netflix subscribers are buzzing about a horror movie from the 1990s that has just been added to the streaming service, with numerous fans declaring it 'superior to the Scream series.'

Michael Rosenbaum and Tara Reid starred in the 1998 film Urban Legend.

Netflix users are being encouraged to discover a "hidden gem" of a horror film that offers "Scream vibes" and an "unexpected twist" ending.

Cult favorite Urban Legend is now accessible on the streaming service. First released in 1998, it followed the success of the original Scream movie in 1996.

While it shares many similarities with Scream, including premise and style, many fans consider it one of the superior titles inspired by the now classic franchise. The plot centers around a series of murders happening in and around a university campus, leading student Natalie to believe that each death is inspired by various urban legends, which seem to be coming true due to a sinister killer.

Numerous aspects of the horror film pay homage to the 1990s, particularly through its cast. Notably, a young Michael Rosenbaum makes an appearance, who would go on to gain fame for his role as Lex Luthor in the television series Smallville.

Jared Leto in 1998's Urban Legend — Jared Leto stars in a chilling horror movie.

Accompanying him is a young Joshua Jackson, recognized for his role in Dawson's Creek, alongside Tara Reid and Jared Leto. Additionally, there's a special appearance by horror icon Robert Englund, famed for portraying Freddy Krueger in the A Nightmare on Elm Street series.

While Urban Legend may not have impressed critics upon its release, it has gradually secured a special status among fans over the years. Some refer to it as a "hidden treasure," whereas others celebrate it as "iconic" in today's context.

A fan took to the internet to express their excitement, saying, "This is a fantastic slasher thriller! While it definitely has the same feel as Scream since it’s another teen slasher, I have to admit that I enjoy this film even more than the Scream series."

One more viewer chimed in with praise, saying, "This is an awesome film to enjoy with friends! It's quick-moving, packed with unexpected moments, and features fantastic cameos from horror icons like Robert Englund and Brad Dourif. While it’s not excessively gory, it does deliver on violence and suspense! If you're looking for deeply unsettling horror, this isn't the one for you. However, if you're in the mood for some entertaining 90s horror, this has everything you need. Where else can you see Joshua Jackson as a mischievous prankster with bleached hair or Tara Reid as a radio DJ?"

Many fans applauded the film's intriguing murder mystery, with one viewer commenting, "The twist at the end caught me off guard! This is definitely one of the top slashers from the 90s. The unexpected turn keeps it exciting as you try to figure out which legends will be featured and which character will sadly meet their demise."

Television in 2025: How far will $100 stretch in streaming and cable services?

View pictures in App save up to 80% data. Similar to many other streaming platforms, Netflix has recently increased its subscription fees. Source: Netflix What does $100 buy in streaming? A couple of years ago, the answer was "anything your little heart desires." But in early 2025, not quite — not even remotely. As streaming nears universal penetration in American TV homes, costs have climbed accordingly. Both of the major live TV streamers, or Virtual Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (vMVPD) — Youtube TV and Hulu + Live TV — recently raised their monthly rates by $10, with each now averaging about $83. And to paraphrase the song, there's no stopping them now. Price hikes are expected to be a part of this world going forward, much as they have been for cable all these years. In a 2024 survey conducted by CNET across six cities, the average monthly expense for basic cable combined with internet was reported to be $144, while the cost for streaming live TV services (vMVPDs) along with internet stood at $135. This results in a mere $10 difference between the two options. However, the survey highlighted that additional fees associated with cable services often add an extra $30 to $50 to the overall monthly bill. So the advantage goes to streaming. Nevertheless, the bottom line has shifted. Streaming may still be cheaper than cable because of all those add-ons and fees that crop up on your monthly bill, but that $100 still doesn't buy what it used to.

Credit: Getty Images/Justin Sullivan What then, does it buy? Before we get to this, ask yourself the most basic of questions: What do you want? Live TV, or the local stations and live feeds of all the other networks out there? Do you want sports or news? Lots of movies? News 12? I've created some $100 packages that meet each of these criteria. Based on these packages, I've drawn a few conclusions. Clearly, a broadband connection is necessary, typically ranging from $40 and above, but it tends to be around $100 on Long Island. (The price estimates mentioned below pertain solely to streaming expenses.) Additionally, I’ve taken it for granted that you’re interested in including the "live TV" feature in your streaming plan, as it resembles Optimum's Extra TV package (priced around $80 monthly) that many of us recognize. Finally, check the fine print. There are countless packages promising "great" savings," "free" bundles, and "low" sign-up fees. A good rule of thumb is to believe none of them. Remember, you are in the driver's seat. You are making the decisions. If you don't like the ones you've made, hit the cancel button. News 12 + Local TV Let's begin with News 12 and Long Island's major broadband provider, Optimum, which launched its own streaming service — Optimum Stream — a few years ago. You can't get Optimum Stream without first having an Optimum internet broadband connection, and the cheapest one is $40 per month for 300 BPS (bits per second). For that reason, this is the only package where I'll factor in the broadband cost, too. There are two other costs to consider here, however. The first is the $12 per-month rental fee for an Optimum streaming device. Second, you pay $30 per month for the so-called "Entertainment" package comprising some 200 channels. (And do note — this is the first year price; after that, it will likely go up.) View pictures in App save up to 80% data. The vast majority of those you'll never watch, but a few — the local stations and News 12 — are what you're looking for anyway. And this is the only streaming service that does indeed offer News 12 Long Island. Optimum Stream is priced to be competitive with Optimum's mid-tier "Extra TV" cable package but the advantage is that you can easily add Netflix, Max or any other streaming service you like via Google Play. Let's go with Netflix's standard package, that's $15.49. A diverse selection of items (excluding sports) at the most affordable prices. Sling TV pioneered the so-called "skinny package," which means what it says. There are three skinny packages — Orange, Blue and Orange/Blue — which are priced according to what is offered. For our purposes, the cheapest way to go is Sling Blue — 46 channels, including channels 4, 5 and 7 — for $45.99. (If you want to add ESPN, you need to do Orange/Blue: $65.99). You'll also notice some key omissions with Blue, including movies and the strangest one of all — WCBS/2. View pictures in App save up to 80% data. If you're looking to make adjustments, consider this option: The Sling Orange/Blue package, which comes with Max, is available for $73. To access Channel 2 and also enjoy a solid selection of movies, you'll need to include Paramount+ with Showtime for an additional $12.99. Lastly, if you want to add another movie streaming service, you can opt for Disney+ at $9.99 (with ads). An abundance of options, featuring the widest variety of channels. Clearly your best bet here is YouTube TV — $83 per month — ,but it's hardly the perfect bet. Foremost, it's sports-deficient (other than the NBA) and while it offers a million movies — I exaggerate, but only slightly — so does everyone else, including the freebies, Tubi and Pluto. What matters most here are current releases, and YouTube is simply not as strong as other services, notably archrival Hulu + Live TV and Prime Video which have far and away the most movies (many if not most of them for a la carte purchase). What YouTube does have is typically priced a little higher than its rival — an anecdotal observation, to be sure, but accurate. View pictures in App save up to 80% data. Next up is sports: A few years back, YouTube TV removed SNY from its lineup, and to access a more comprehensive sports package that features "NFL Redzone," you'll have to shell out an additional $11. Otherwise, YouTube TV's many attributes stack up — ease of use, interface and tons of channels. Indeed, per a recent CNET survey, YouTube TV has 78 of the top 100 most-viewed cable channels compared to 75 for Hulu. No other streamer is even close. However, what should be included? Max, ad-free, for just $16.99. An abundance of choices, featuring top-tier premium packages. Hulu TV+ Live TV takes the crown thanks to its integration with Disney+ and ESPN+. Furthermore, Hulu's extensive production collaborations, particularly with FX on Hulu, have produced a wealth of must-see shows, including hits like "The Bear" and "Shogun." View pictures in App save up to 80% data. However, Hulu, similar to YouTube TV, comes with a hefty price tag of $83, leaving little flexibility for additional features. For Mets enthusiasts, there's the option to include SNY for an extra $9.99 on Hulu. If you're also in search of a reliable movie streaming service that boasts a large collection of "Saturday Night Live" reruns, Peacock is available for $8, though it includes advertisements. A variety of athletic activities (and exclusively athletics) Fubo and DirecTV Stream have made this choice easy because these streamers are pretty much synonymous with sports: Fubo in particular which has the NFL, NBA, MLB, golf, tennis, college, NASCAR, MMA and so on, while DTV Stream has lots of regional sports channels, too. Fubo also has a fair number of regional sports networks (including YES), but what's glaringly missing is the Mets' home, SNY, which was dropped last spring following a standoff over carriage fees. So the choice here would appear to be DirecTV's Stream's "Choice" package, which has both YES and SNY. But there's a catch (isn't there always?). It's $94.99 a month for the first three months, then $114.99 thereafter. If you don't need SNY, Fubo's Pro plan ($79) seems more than adequate. View pictures in App save up to 80% data. In the meantime, what about MSG Networks? This is a significant issue due to the current impasse with Altice. Both DirecTV's Choice package and Fubo's Pro plan include MSG.  For anyone interested in catching up on movies and TV shows, let's not forget about Netflix ($15.49), which is expanding its sports content as well, featuring events like the NFL and WWE. By the way, DirecTV Stream recently unveiled its "skinny" sports package called MySports, which debuted on January 14. This bundle includes around 40 sports and local broadcast channels; however, MSG is notably absent from the lineup. The price will be $69.99 following an introductory promotion. No live television, but a wide variety of channels available.  Among the various vMVPDs, Philo stands out primarily for its affordability. At just $28 per month, subscribers gain access to 70 channels. While this may seem appealing, it's important to note that it lacks local channels, news, sports coverage, and movies. However, it does offer AMC+ and access to the AMC library, which provides some value. Still, at this low price point, it allows for flexibility, enabling users to incorporate additional streaming services without exceeding a $100 budget. For movie options, consider Max at $9.99, and for live television, Sling Blue at $45.99 and Paramount+ with Showtime at $12.99 are solid choices. View pictures in App save up to 80% data. Additionally, there is always a complimentary option available for movies and television series. Tubi could be considered the largest, boasting around 40,000 films and approximately 200,000 TV episodes. Price: absolutely free. Complimentary, complimentary, complimentary  Are you considering going free? It's certainly a reasonable option, but remember, you often receive what you pay for, and this situation is no different. The two leading free ad-supported television (FAST) platforms are Pluto and Tubi, and they are fiercely competing for audience attention and market share. Their rivalry centers around content, boasting an astonishing number of episodes and films — in the hundreds of thousands. Tubi asserts it offers 275,000 movies and TV episodes, while Pluto, seemingly unsure of its total, proudly states it has "100,000+." View pictures in App save up to 80% data. Tubi offers free ad-supported TV and movie streaming services. Credit: Tubi It's important to note that although a lot of this content isn't worthless, it certainly feels outdated (the term "classic" is their preferred choice). Pluto, owned by Paramount, boasts a wide array of classic CBS programming, whereas Tubi, under Fox's ownership, appears to have a more diverse selection. Tubi offers a more user-friendly interface, which is crucial given the extensive amount of content available, while Pluto focuses on niche offerings—sometimes creating entire channels dedicated to a single show. For instance, Pluto features an extensive collection of "Star Trek" episodes, and it also has a dedicated channel for "Stargate."  Looking for live TV? You're in luck! WNYW/5 is available for streaming live on Tubi, and you can catch WCBS/2's local news on Pluto. Additionally, Pluto offers news content from various CBS stations, including Ch. 5, along with "News 12/New York" (though not for Long Island). In the meantime, numerous other free alternatives are available, such as the Roku Channel, Crackle, and Plex Free Watch. Additionally, platforms like Amazon's Freevee are heavily invested in producing original content. What can you expect from a $100 cable subscription?  What can you expect for $100 when it comes to cable services, particularly with Optimum and Verizon Fios, the leading providers in Long Island? As longtime subscribers are aware, the situation is quite complex — or to phrase it more candidly, it's akin to trying to pin down Jell-O. One factor contributing to this is that prices fluctuate depending on the specific bundle of services (like phone, TV, and internet) you choose. Additionally, there are a multitude of fees involved. Furthermore, expenses are seldom consistent, as the promotional rates or "introductory offers" typically expire after about a year, leading to an increase in the amount you originally committed to paying. Optimum also requires most plans to hitch broadband to their package ($40 is the lowest). The basic entertainment TV package — roughly 40 channels, but not the local stations — is $30. Next up, those fees — $9.99 for broadcast stations (if you want those), and $10.47, for regional sports networks. The so-called network enhancement fee (which just went up in January) runs about $6. The first cable box is free. (We haven't even added the regulatory recovery fee; the universal service fund fee; state and local communications services tax, or state and local taxes — all of which vary by community or customer.) On the other hand, Fios offers its most affordable TV package, Your Fios TV, at $85, which includes approximately 125 channels. For those seeking more options, "More Fios TV" is available for $109 per month and provides around 325 channels, including local broadcasts. However, it's important to note additional costs, such as an $18 monthly router fee if you aren't subscribed to Fios internet, along with $100 in setup charges and various taxes. Additionally, there are several other fees associated with the service, including regulatory and administrative charges.

The close relationship between Kate Middleton and Prince Harry has reportedly been shattered due to feelings of 'mistrust' and 'betrayal'.

Prince Harry and Kate Middleton once shared a deep bond, with Harry affectionately referring to her as the 'sister I never had but always wished for' - however, that connection has since transformed. View pictures in App save up to 80% data. The relationship between Prince Harry and Kate Middleton has been irreparably damaged. Prince Harry and Kate Middleton were once extremely close, with Harry often spending time with Prince William and his wife. The Duke of Sussex even described Kate as "the sister I've never had and always wanted." However, their once strong bond was shattered following the release of Harry's tell-all memoir, Spare. In the book, Harry made several accusations against members of the royal family, including Kate. He claimed the Princess of Wales was "on edge" when he married Meghan Markle because she was now "going to be compared to, and forced to compete with, Meg." He further asserted that a conflict regarding the bridesmaids' dresses resulted in Meghan being found "sobbing on the floor." Both William and Kate were said to be hurt and feeling betrayed by these claims, while Harry received backlash for launching such intimate accusations, fully aware that the royal family would refrain from addressing them publicly. View pictures in App save up to 80% data. Prince Harry and Kate Middleton shared a close bond in the past. In his account of the infamous disagreement over Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress, Harry seemed to suggest that Kate was unwilling to compromise, despite Meghan's obvious distress. An insider suggested the memoir "paints Kate as rigid and overly formal, contrasting Meghan's laid-back Californian approach." However, many were quick to rally around the Princess of Wales, criticizing Harry for his portrayal of her. Royal photographer Arthur Edwards was among those who voiced their opinions. "Harry has openly criticized his sister-in-law in a manner that harms not only her but also the overall family relationship," he remarked. Royal analyst Ingrid Seward commented, "Harry's choice to involve Kate in this storyline was both unwarranted and painful. She has consistently exemplified poise in challenging situations, and this occurrence misrepresents her true character." It's reported that Kate was deeply wounded by Harry's actions. However, she has chosen to remain silent on the issue, focusing instead on her royal duties and her family. She has also battled cancer and is now in remission. Of course, it wasn't just Spare that caused issues with the Sussexes. They spoke out against the royals in the infamous Oprah Winfrey interview, and in Meghan and Harry's Netflix documentary they again criticized Kate, accusing her of being overly-formal during their first meeting. "Meghan reminisced about the time when Will and Kate visited her for the first time. 'They came over for dinner, and I remember I was wearing ripped jeans and was barefoot,' she said. 'I've always been someone who loves to hug, but I didn't realize that might be quite surprising for many Brits. It became clear to me quite fast that the exterior formality often reflected deeper norms on the inside.'" Subscribe to our FREE newsletter and receive the latest headlines directly in your inbox!

Those who couldn’t wait to see Meghan Markle‘s cooking and gardening show on Netflix will have to wait a little longer as the release date has been pushed back until March 4 amid the devastating wildfires in and around Los Angeles. In a statement via Tudum the Duchess of Sussex said: “I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California.” Even though the former Suits star‘s lifestyle show won’t be released for a little while, the trailer gives us a glimpse of what to expect when With Love, Meghan airs. It shows Meghan joined by some of her celebrity pals as she whips up some treats. In the one-minute and 50-second trailer, the duchess is also seen wearing some stunning jewelry, which experts have analyzed and you won’t believe how much the pieces are worth. Here’s additional information about that and the other guests we can expect on Meghan’s forthcoming show. In the trailer, Meghan flaunts a collection of exquisite and costly jewelry all by herself.

Maxwell Stone said: “Meghan Markle recently unveiled the trailer for her highly-anticipated Netflix series, offering an intimate look into her personal style — along with a captivating glimpse of her exquisite jewelry collection.

Following closely is her £80,000 ($97,900 USD) eternity ring — a deeply sentimental piece that subtly incorporates the birthstones of Meghan, Archie, and Harry on its underside, symbolizing their close-knit family bond. "Meghan is frequently spotted in luxurious and expensive outfits, but she also loves to incorporate budget-friendly accessories into her style. In the trailer, she shines in a pair of gold-plated knot earrings by Anine Bing, which are a great example of her affordable choices. Although the specific earrings she's wearing aren't available on the designer's site right now, a comparable pair is priced at $324." Stone stated, “After thoroughly examining every detail, I can disclose that Meghan adorns herself with jewelry valued at an astonishing £337,226 ($421,759 USD) in the trailer, highlighting a remarkable fusion of sophistication and opulence.” View pictures in App save up to 80% data.

Chris Brown Supports Donald Trump's Suggested IRS Reforms

Chris Brown not only endorsed the changes, but claimed that Trump should be put on the face of the "hundred dollar bill" if they actually go through. Chris Brown reached out to his fans, questioning if they shared his views. "Is anyone else wishing for Trump to close down the IRS?," he inquired. "If he manages to do that, he deserves to be on the hundred dollar bill." However, his followers did not react positively to his statement. Many felt that the singer was displaying his celebrity privilege. "Just pay your taxes, man," one commenter pointed out. Others admonished Chris Brown for not thoroughly examining Donald Trump's suggested reforms. "As frustrating as taxes can be, they are essential for maintaining our country," another user remarked.

You know, ‘I’m sorry for not being there,’ and honestly, it meant a lot.” It is no secret that Brody and Caitlyn share a complicated history. Long before becoming a star of The Hills or a contestant on Special Forces, Brody spent his formative years with a famous father who wasn’t always around. Caitlyn, formerly Bruce, transitioned in 2015, and since then their relationship is “better,” Brody said on the Fox reality show. In his youth, he recalled, “I would occasionally catch glimpses of him — back then, just ‘him’ — at various times.” He added, “But my mom would remind me that I used to write on cards, ‘Why doesn’t dad reach out to me on my birthday?’” Caitlyn, who is a former Olympic decathlete and motivational speaker, has six children with three different wives: Burt Jenner and Cassandra Marino with Chrystie Scott, Brandon Jenner and Brody with Linda Thompson and Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner with Kris Jenner. “I had an incredible mother,” Brody said in Special Forces. “Father, Bruce, at the time, wasn’t around that much. They split, and then he met a woman. She had kids as well. The woman that he met … they had kids together.”  Caitlyn appeared on Keeping Up With the Kardashians (2007-2021) with ex-wife Kris and their daughters Kylie and Kendall, in addition to Kim, Kourtney, Khloé and Rob Kardashian — Kris’ children from her previous marriage to the late Robert Kardashian. Brody acknowledged that watching the Kardashians’ show left him feeling “somewhat neglected,” but in retrospect, he realizes that Caitlyn was “dealing with [her] own challenges during the transition, and everything was broadcasted on television. There were instances we shared that were captured on camera, which felt quite intrusive and not entirely authentic, I would say.” Brody expressed that discovering Caitlyn's desire to be her true self was a kind of relief for him. “It helped clarify many things in my life regarding my father and perhaps explained his absence over the years,” he remarked.  View pictures in App save up to 80% data.

I’m living for her. … I think it’s gonna make me a better father.” He stated, "I plan to do the complete opposite of what my father did for me in terms of being there for her."

Paul Stewart Laing The cause of death for Paul Stewart Laing has now been officially determined after his demise in 2023. The TV legend, who helped to launch the careers of icons including Lenny Henry and Les Dennis, died aged 83. It's now been confirmed his death was caused by sepsis following surgery. An inquiry held at the Exeter Coroner's Court revealed that the television celebrity had elective surgery to remove his gallbladder and explore the common bile duct on January 16, 2023. The procedure took place at Derriford Hospital, after he experienced escalating issues with gallstones for a duration of eight years. Four days post-surgery, Paul was released from the hospital.

The iconic British television personality Paul Stewart Laing Reports indicate that he was subsequently returned to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with sepsis due to a lack of improvement in his condition. During the court proceedings, it was revealed that the surgery was acknowledged to have a risk of infection. He was rushed to the operating room for urgent surgery in an attempt to identify the source of the sepsis. Unfortunately, after being put under anesthesia, he experienced a cardiac arrest and passed away shortly thereafter. It's thought doctors had conceded it was "likely" his previous surgery would have triggered the infection he had. "He probably did not have much reserves to fight it," Dr Aditya Kanwar, a consultant surgeon specialising in liver and bladder surgery at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, said. Paul rose to prominence in the 1970s, becoming a notable figure in British television. He was the producer and director behind several successful programs that became integral to the TV landscape. Among his contributions were popular shows like The Golden Shot and Celebrity Squares. He also helmed London Night Out and Wednesday at Eight, the midweek counterpart to Sunday Night at the Palladium, which showcased a variety format that included the quiz game Name that Tune in between performances.
